Elizabeth Burns
Tentatively I took a step towards you
You caressed my heart in your hands
Your menacing stare beguiled me and I was in awe of your sacred beauty
For once I was lost in a sea of mispronounced words and jumbled sentences
The syntax was filled with errors
And I had never thought I would blink my eyes again
As the tears refused to leave my eyes
They painfully glazed my face
And struck me as terribly arty
I felt as if I were an artist In this play
Grasping my lines
Stuttering over them
Grabbing onto each word
Like a cheap ***** grabs cash
From the man with money
And lusts after the sweet stench of the money she earns
I once was lost
Yet now I am found
By your burning radiant fire eyes
Blazing with sensation and perfection
I love you
And I bask in the blistering heat
Of your pyre
That cleanses and  
Causes death
To my
Old morbid heart
And persuades me with passion
And pursuit
I am yours
in
My sensational romance...

i'm tired
i'm so tired

it makes me wonder if i'm always this easy to fool

don't cradle me in your
- I love you's
in your
- I'm sorry's
in any of your excuses

don't you dare try to plant another rose in my stomach
i'm starting to over cultivate
don't you dare try to plant another rose on my lips
spring is hidden behind my cold winter words

this poem is a mess
but who cares

i shall sleep once more
free of restraints and excuses

the gardener to my own garden
This poem's recycled, but just as relevant

sad
There's so much to be sad about,
How can anyone be happy?

to think you led me
down the garden path
is rather hard to fathom,
yet we masked our passion
with the passing seasons.

I want to be your canvas
A canvas made of flesh and blood if you like
Paint me with your love
Fill me with the most exquisite of colours
Smear me with your kisses
Streak my skin with the colour of your skin
******* lips
Then move over to my hips
Play with my hair
Tease me
Spread your aroma all over me
Make me forget myself even if for a few moments
You have done many paintings before
But tonight i want you to make me your masterpiece

Behind a wall of curtains
I slept longer
The night
I was supposed to be awake
The moonlight
Gave me warmth
To mend my wounds
And forget the ache
I felt weightless
Like the air
****** up
By a candle light
As the gate
Behind my shadow
Closed its wings
Deep in the night
A secret world
I thought at first
As I entered
With an empty heart
A meadow
Filled with dreams
Of Gods
Waiting to be picked up
A pleasure hunt
A voiceless whisper
Revealed the secret
I’ve kept so long
A rush of blood
To the head I felt
As I lost my body
To a distant song
Shameless truth
Made me blush
As the pleasure
Crawled down my spine
I felt alive
As I walked inside
This secret world
That was now mine
As I went on dancing
With the dream I’ve picked
From the fairest meadow
My eyes have seen
The empty heart
I took along
Started singing
The unknown song
As the sun came up
And the curtains fell
I closed my eyes
And turned my back
Took my heart
Filled with joy
And walked away
Step by step

Oh what a night this one has been
I danced embraced with my dream

Opening my eyes,
I awake to the soft glow
of your morning smile

And as I wander
in your beauty,
where love surrenders
to each glorious sunrise
and butterflies dance
among the cool shade
caressing the ground,

I know this is where
I want to be,
always

the loving way
   you take me in

and send me out
into an orbit
lit by a million suns
moving in spiraling commotion
toward their brilliant center

the way
   you loving
take me in

I weave a tender fabric
of many gentle threads

   if needed
you can pull it over you
and feel cozy

I am there for you
in times of bliss
despair  
or anger

to lean upon
also to hit
yell at or fight

I want you
wildly at times
rough   uncouth

and sometimes
wordless
only by soft touch

I need your smile
your laughter
shiny eyes
your tears
your counter-argument
your wisdom
your advice

my love of you
is always total
a force replenishing itself
from its core
not diminished
or impaired
by dark moments

it has no reason
needs no logic
nor explanation

you are
my love

I see you in all your glory
refined & clad in fine silk

I see you at your worst
teary eyed, lost and broken

I stand in the gap with you
stronger together than apart

I feel the love emanating
building me to be better

I claim the life we cherish
forever yearning for peace

I thank the Lord for favor
always seeking His glory.

The knowledge of growing and feeling the flowing
of the ins to the outside showing, what you are.
It's enough to drive you mad hoping to make glad the hopes of your mom and dad while being your own man with a plan who along with everyone is pretending he can.
True change is subtle and I'll pose a rebuttal to any of those quick fix ****** that think life is anything but a struggle.
I constantly tell myself to take the toys of life off the shelf and be not a man but a very mature boy who enjoys life for what it is.
Insignificant in the grand scheme but significant and supreme to each individual, it can be full if you feed on the right stuff and not this materialistic fluff but relationships and love.
The taste can't be replaced it's easy to get tossed and lost in the cost of brand names and hearsay claims; you hear the heresy names shouted at you for being different.
Take time to rewind and look back at the facts that make you true. Apply the sutures to the wounds so the futures got more room to grow and you know you will.
The past never returns and the future never arrives so your only choice is to be present and alive.
**** fear, you don't need it. Make a goal and succeed it.
Everyone is different and this life is on rent so make sure all your money is spent by the end my friend because only dead plants don't grow.
